the only team whose fans could genuinely turn people off is the knicks, you have seen how they treat their own team in MSG when playing badly haven't you? But no, messageboard criticism isn't going to be on the radar,lol
If they haven't been able to get what they want from a trade, it'll be a little more harder to do so with this episode from Brooks.
I'll take him as well. But he is a SG. He can't play SF. I think they tried to have the PG experiment with Mayo but it failed.
Lowry, being a better PG than Conley, would probably run well with Mayo as the SG. Or maybe put him in with T-Will( ).
Brooks isn't playing poorly on purpose. He wants his starting role back, and he wants a big payday on his next contract. I don't know if his ankle is still bothering him, but I don't think RA would put him out there if he wasn't mostly healed. Saying that he should be ok bc Hayes was ok doesn't make sense. Everybody is different. I think he's just in a slump, and it's getting in his head. His shot selection has been poor, that's for sure.
Usually when a player is slumping really bad in the scoring area, you tell him to do other things. The problem is that Brooks can't really do anything other than score. So the Rockets have to let him shoot his way back into a rhythm, which hurts the team. Brooks has played 28 games this season. His floor time "win-loss" record is 8-20 ... meaning we've only outscored the other team 8 times out of 28 when he's been on the floor.
Ok, so his shooting sucks but since he's the point guard, why not try to create for his team mates? Play hard like Lowry does? Martin's shooting last night was as bad as Brooks but he still got 30 points. He got the the free throw line. If one thing is not working, you try to be effective in another way. Brooks isn't doing anything else other that shoot and turn the ball over.
BAM! Suspended 1 game for walking out on the team with 6 minutes left in regulation. Did not fly with the team to Denver.
Well, now it's according to management too. Oh, and BTW "only 27 games"? That's 1/3 of an NBA season, and it's not like he got his foot amputated.
